I keep meaning to come back to the first couple of years of Ski's squad and give it a proper story arc. I also want to reshape a bit exactly how things happen, so there may be contradictions to old stuff as I go. Here's a pocky-sized attempt to bring more characters and different conflict in.
“It’s an overgrown mess,” was Ski’s assessment of the fields her squadron was to patrol.
Percy wrinkled his nose at the stretch of brambles and knee-high grass as Ski stopped to look at a crumbling fence and he rode past. “It would be decent farmland if not for the squatters and the bandits.” He turned with a smile. “But of course, that’s where you come in.”
“Of course,” said Ski, unable to muster any enthusiasm.
“If only Telome would cooperate, we could build a proper road through here. Unfortunately, it will take more than bandits to scare him into action.”
